Whether you prefer bold reds or crisp whites, even thinking about a great glass of wine can bring a smile to your face. During this tasting experience, we’ll explore the unique flavour profiles of carefully selected South African boutique wines, each poured to perfection in varietal-specific Riedel glassware.

The philosophy behind grape-specific glasses is much like using the right tool for the job: you wouldn’t use a hammer to tighten a screw, just as you wouldn’t serve a delicate Pinot Noir in a heavy, narrow glass. Each wine variety has distinct characteristics, and the shape and size of the glass influence how your palate experiences aroma, taste, and texture.

This immersive event promises to deepen your appreciation for fine wine, offering insight into the art of glassware design and how it enhances the tasting journey. You’ll enjoy an informal yet informative session that blends practical knowledge with sensory exploration—perfect for wine lovers of all levels.
